Breaking News - Richest beggar of Mumbai

The Richest Indian or Richest Man on the planet are no more a news, however the Richest beggar of Mumbai could be the breaking news, the people of Mumbai are on the fast track they don’t have time to breath, hence they chose to do the street charities by paying beggars.
It might be shocking but begging in India is Rs.200 crore industry and this has been said after two year survey by Dr. Rafiuddin.
Meet this man “Bharat Jain” who begs in the streets of Mumbai.

He can often be  seen begging at Azad Maidan or Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. He makes earning of 2,000 to 2,500 in just around 8 to 10 hours of a day. Which is a whooping 75,000 Rs a Month. So apparently his income is more than average salary of Chief Minister in India.
Another surprising factor is that Bharat Jain  also owns a two adjacent 1 BHK apartments in Parel which is worth 80 Lakh.
That is not all, besides the apartment he also owns a shop at Bhandup which has been rented out to a juice shop. Guess what, the rent he earns out of this shop is 10,000 Rs / Month.

Yes, some Beggars are not financially Broken!

I am not sure about millionaires, but I am pretty sure that most beggars are much richer than most people on wages. And this is in relatively poor countries like Turkey and China. In richer European or North american countries,  their situation might even be better. From time to time we hear about them in the news being caught with thousands of dollars in cash, not to mention real estate, gold and other properties.

There is even a story of a beggar in China who pays people to help him count his collected cash.

So yes, it would not be very surprising to see beggar millionaires.
